Sara-Lena Caroline Bjälkö (born 23 February 1976) is a Swedish politician and a member of the Christian Democrats party who has served in the Riksdag since 2014.
Bjälkö worked as a nurse before her political career.[1] She was elected to the Riksdag in 2014 for the Sweden Democrats representing the constituency of Örebro County. She also served as the chairwoman of the SD's local chapter in Falkenberg.[2][3][4][1] In 2018, Bjälkö was involved in an incident in which a bus she was travelling on was shot at by a passing car. Police later determined that the attack was random and not politically motivated.[5][6]
On 23 December 2025 Bjälkö announced that she would leave the Sweden Democrats and join the Christian Democrats.[7]
